Indigenous Codesign
Country-centred design outcomes support Indigenous leadership and acknowledge the living relationships that First Peoples have with Country.
Greenshoot specialises in culturally responsive codesign solutions that are of their place and respectful of the diversity of First Nations culture. Our extensive experience in crafting Country-centred design outcomes embeds reciprocity in a process that is respectfully collaborative and invites co-creation and sharing of First Peoples’ knowledge.
Greenshoot has codesigned and validated with Elders a Country-centred approach, exploring the intersection between Connecting to Country, Designing with Country and Caring for Country to support project design and delivery. This process includes designing innovative methods to embed reciprocity through a process that supports self-determination.
Greenshoot leverages our extensive experience in culturally responsive engagement and codesign to ensure that the aspirations of First Peoples’ communities are meaningfully embedded in the built and natural environment.
